when dealing with forms, i suggest you use Form Validation instead of Validation.

Sorry for the late reply guys. Yep, I'm now using Form Validation and it's working a dream.
Main things to tackle now are Database Insertion and Mailing Form Contents.
How would I best escape data going into the database? Any CI functions worth a look, or just stick with mysql_real_escape_string?

Check out the "notes" on the "insert" and "update" pages in the manual for the database. If you use active record:

Many thanks for the reply.
I will give this a shot.
I've got 1 or 2 more queries on validation, but not totally urgent
Thanks again for your time.
